I don't know how to put multiple serial numbers in one file for various part numbers in configs. I don't have any experience applying serial numbers to data card variables, we only have one SN generator set up in PDM and it is only used for file names. As far as I understand it's only helpful for non-SW file types.
I still have mixed feelings about the tab, tempting to just hide it for all the SW files. Hind sight is much better than foresight devoid of experience. I understand that, even though I'm first PDM Admin here I still gripe about weird things the previous guy did.
In this case, how would we grab another SN if we wanted two in one file? It would work for most files, but as often happens with PDM, it's the exceptions that cause 80% of the PDM admin time. I'd like to filename with SN, but doubt that would satisfy enough of the requirements. As far as I can tell the weak SN tool in PDM-P isn't set up for that (amazing it can't be run on state change it has an exclude, but how about an include? etc.), and I'll probably need an add-in to get everything we want. They don't use the tab (may change), and they want the option to be able to put SN on various configurations. The current filenames are often just descriptions (hoping to change this). This is a an existing PDM setup, wherein they made some weird decisions, and now I'm the new admin trying to figure out improvements.
Thanks for mentioning that approach, made me reconsider some things.
